Offering both organic ceramic and inorganic epoxy and flouropolymer chemistries, SermaGard Coatings provide outstanding salt-spray performance, chip resistance, adhesion characteristics and ductility. Common applications are fasteners, stampings for bonded rubber applications such as body mounts and engine mounts, exhaust hanger rods, clamps, spring clips and specialty nails. SermaGard’s unique ceramic/aluminum high temperature capabilities make it a perfect fit for exhaust system components; enabling the use of lower cost plain carbon steel where expensive stainless steel was previously thought necessary. Our NitroPlate® process is able to polish to a bright luster for use on exhaust headers, exhaust pipes, tail tips and a large variety of other components used in both high temperature and aesthetic applications. Please visit our NitroPlate website at http://www.nitroplate.com for further information. RoBo® Coating is a unique semi-sacrificial coating system that is used where components may be exposed to oxidizers such as bleach (sodium hypochlorite), peroxide, chlorine, etc. RoBo Coating was developed specifically to address stress corrosion cracking issues with constant tension hose clamps used by original equipment automotive manufacturers and has become the standard in North America. Radiator caps, compression springs, pneumatic components and a variety of other components also benefit from RoBo’s unique characteristics.
